CARRYING ON.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Carrying On.

 

Water crosses curved world by
pulling its oceans
through the ebb and fall tides,
holding back floods
from rocky cliff-bolstered sides
so safer feel locals 
who choose land's end residing. 
Crews bearing up
against storm's crashing  cries
from breakers' wide maw
means communal-arm  fighting 
to tie boats to shore
when all waves become mighty.

Carrying on is the mantra

of fisher-folk tackling

the force of wild sea-wind rise.
